Adafruit's Description of the Half-size breadboard

Description

This is a cute half size breadboard, good for small projects. It's 2.2" x 3.4" (5.5 cm x 8.5 cm) with a standard double-strip in the middle and two power rails on both sides. You can pull the power rails off easily to make the breadboard as thin as 1.4" (3.5cm) and stick it onto an Arduino protoshield. You can also cut these in half with a saw to create 2 tiny breadboards, or "snap" these breadboards together either way to make longer and/or wider breadboards.

Half-size breadboard Guides

The Raspberry Pi and Arduino are both popular boards, but each are better suited for different things.
That said, why not combine the two?

In this guide, you will learn to connect an Arduino UNO to the Raspberry Pi and program it from an Arduino IDE within Raspbian. A Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is used here but the instructions are the same for any other board. We will build a circuit using a breadboard, and write a sketch on the Arduino IDE that will have LEDs lighting up.

Once you've mastered the basics, you are one step closer to working on more advanced projects that requires the use of both boards. These could include a smart home, or smart jukebox among many other projects.

Want to keep your plants watered while away on vacation? Build your own automatic self-watering system using our Automatic Plant Watering Kit and an Arduino!

In this guide, you will learn to connect the kit to the Arduino or as a standalone, then program it to monitor soil moisture levels; when soil moisture level goes below the set threshold level, the plant will be automatically watered.
